Overview
A multispectral thermal and night vision riflescope pairing a 12um 256x196 thermal detector with a Sony STARVIS 2 digital night vision sensor, plus a built-in laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator for after dark hunting.
Combines two detection systems in one housing rather than forcing a choice between thermal and digital night vision: a Picture-in-Picture toggle switches between thermal, night vision, or a blended view. The one-shot zeroing process lets a hunter zero on the day/night channel and carry that same point of impact over to the thermal channel.
- 12um 256x196 thermal detector with Sony STARVIS 2 night vision
- Picture-in-Picture thermal, night vision or hybrid display
- One-shot zeroing across thermal and night vision channels
- 7 inches long, 22oz, IP67 rated
Who it's for
Hunters who need both thermal detection and clear digital night vision identification in a single scope, particularly for hog or predator hunting after dark. Not intended for anyone who only needs a daytime optic, since the added electronics add weight and cost over a standard rifle scope.
Pros and cons
- Combines thermal detection with digital night vision
- One-shot zeroing carries point of impact across channels
- IP67 waterproof rating with .50 BMG recoil rating
- Built-in 32GB storage and ballistic calculator
- 940nm IR illuminator sold separately
- Battery life listed at up to 5 hours
Performance notes
The thermal channel uses a 12um pixel detector rated NETD under 25 for extended detection range, while the STARVIS 2 sensor drives the digital night vision side for target identification once something is spotted. A detachable IR illuminator switches between 850nm and 940nm wavelengths, and the scope carries an IP67 waterproof rating with a stated recoil tolerance up to .50 BMG.
